Rep Plus is available in two versions, one of which runs under Microsoft Windows and the other under Apple OS X. The Rep Plus data files have the same format on both platforms and are interchangeable. The user interface for both is as similar as possible so that someone familar with Rep Plus on one platform should be able to use it on the other without difficulty.
The curent version of both operating systems are very defensive in installing new software and will need reassuring that you know what you are doing in asking them to install Rep Plus.
Intalling under Windows
The installation file for Windows can be downloaded by clicking Rep Plus V1.1 Install.exe. When run it takes you through a normal Windows installation dialogue that offers options such as installing desktop and quicklaunch icons. The Rep Plus V1.1 application and support files is installed in the Windows Applications directory and the Rep Plus V1.1 Support directory of example files in your Documents/MyDocuments directory.
Intalling under OS X
The installation file for OS X can be downloaded by clicking Rep Plus V1.1.zip. The folder downloaded contains two folders: the Rep Plus V1.1 application that you may copy to your Applications folder; the Rep Plus V1.1 Examples folder of example files that you can copy to your Documents folder or any other suitable location.
Note that Rep Plus V1.1 is currently a 32bit application and will not run under Catalina. The next release will be 64bit and is being tested currently for release in 2021.
Files created when Rep Plus is first run
Rep Plus looks for scripts and default files firstly in the Rep Plus folder/directory in the Documents/MyDocuments folder/directory, and secondly in the Rep Plus V1.1 folder/directory in the Applications folder/directory. The former is intended for user-created scripts and default files, and when Rep Plus is run it checks whether a Rep Plus folder/directory exists and, if not, creates one that has within it empty GridScripts, GridsScripts, NetScripts, ServerScripts, ServerData, and ServerData folders/directories.
Grids, nets and scripts that a user installs in these directories are automatically accessed by Rep Plus applications. If one the same name and type as a file in the folder/directory with the same name in the Rep Plus application folder/directory it supersedes it. This enables users to override the supplied default grids, nets and scripts without having to edit them so that the originals remain available if needed.
